feed twice a day you also have much more control over your birds, alot of people make the mistake racing young birds with too heavy of a mix, a young bird mix should contain plenty of barley, more of a 50% 50% mixture, this also gets them on the wing alot quicker. feed about desert spoon each in the morning in the hopper after fly if not letting out in morning feed them early as possible. in the evening feed alittle at a time to they stop eating the barley, once barley starts to be left feed no more
